STAFF REPORTS
UTILITY PATCHES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY Director of Development / Assistant City Administrator Andy Hixson and Streets Superintendent Jim Link, asked if the Board would be in favor of including a section on excavation permits that would allow utility companies, working on repairs in the right-of way, to pay the City of Ballwin to restore the road or sidewalk at the conclusion of their repair. In the past, after a repair has been made in the right-of-way, there has been a problem with work being completed that is of lasting quality and in a timely manner. The Board agreed with Mr. Hixson and Mr. Link and directed them to add the option of paying the City restore the street and sidewalk at the conclusion of the utility company’s repair to the excavation permit.
